Has anybody heard of this game? A buddy invited me to the Alpha today (opens tommorrow). It's a 3rd person multiplayer hack-n-slash between knights, vikings, and weebs, with stance-based duels. High attacks need to be defended by high blocks, same with left and right.

Looks a bit like (a worse version of) Dark Souls' PVP fucked a MOBA when the MOBA's husband TF2 was away. Sounds weird, might be good, still can't really tell. I'll record myself playing when the alpha opens and post on here.

Overall it's really fun. Alpha has 1v1, 2v2, and 4v4 (only played 4v4 so far). You can vs AI or PVP. 4v4 is a 3-point king of the hill. Combat is really fluid and well-implemented, and the guard system (high/left/right) is an interesting addition to add complexity. Some classes have permanent guard so long as you're on the appropriate direction, others have a 1-second window to guard in the right direction when an enemy attacks and give a bonus to counters if you guard correctly. There are guard breaks and grapples that work well and can be countered. Each class also has a set of 4 buffs/debuffs that can be swapped out as you level up that class (12 total for each class).

So far, overall I'd say this looks like an 8-9/10 game, assuming that it keeps a decently-sized playerbase.

>>58958Imho, I see it more of like if Mortal Kombat and Diablo had an illegitimate love child. I play Raider and he's not super great at duel or brawls. Actually he's widely considered to be the worst class. I'm in the top 4% of people who play him tho. I prefer Dominion personally.

>>58959Yeah, they need dedicated servers. I can't tell you how many matches I get disconnected from.
